    with M. J. Holboke, B. J. Tromberg, N. Shah, J. Fishkin, D. Kidney, J. Butler, B. Chance, and A. G. Yodh
    We describe an approach that combines clinical ultrasound and photon migration techniques to enhance the sensitivity and information content of diffuse optical tomography. Measurements were performed on a postmenopausal woman with a single 1.8×0.9 cm malignant ductal carcinoma in situ approximately 7.4 mm beneath the skin surface. The ultrasound-derived information about tumor geometry enabled us to segment the breast tissue into tumor and background regions. Optical data was obtained with a mul…Read more
